Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ther's gray skies and there's no doubt
Rain's comin'down this morning
I get off the interstate fifteen minutes late
For an appointment that I really didn't need to make
God, this routine bores me
Well it's getting on twelve and I ain't had a bite
I'm all coffee'd up, sleepy eyed,wound up tight
I've had the wholenight and now half the day
To think about what you said and what I need to change
But it's all the same, it's all the same
'Cause
[Chorus]
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you
Well I skipped lunch with the boss at that sleazy little bar
Stopped to get gas, a bag of chips
And got back in the car and started drivin'
I headed down the road where the air is clean
And the grass is green and the birds sing to clear his head
Full of things that I've been denying
But its all in vain
[Chorus: x2]
Well it's five o'clock sharp and it's getting dark now
It's bumper to bumper and it's raining buckets down
But I'm smiling, yeah I'm smiling
[Chorus: x4]
The lyrics of Billy Ray Cyrus's song "All I'm Thinking About Is You" describe a day in the life of the singer. The song's first verse sets the scene, describing the gray skies and rain while the singer is running late for an appointment, one which he did not need to make. The routine that has become his life bores him, and he's tired and hungry from the day's activities. Despite all this, he cannot stop thinking about someone - the chorus repeats, "All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you." As the song progresses, he eventually skips a meeting with his boss to take a drive down a scenic road, hoping to clear his mind. The song ends with him sitting in traffic during rush hour, but still happy because of the person on his mind.
Musically, the song is an upbeat and catchy country-pop track. It features a prominent acoustic guitar and upbeat drumming, with Cyrus's twangy vocals carrying the melody. Lyrically, the song is primarily focused on the singer's mental state as he navigates his day, but it also hints at the presence of an important person in his life.
Overall, "All I'm Thinking About Is You" is a catchy and relatable song about the power of love and the way in which it can linger in our thoughts, even during the most mundane moments of life.
